Did You Know....

We went to Disney World...in June...it was a wonderful trip....unforgetable....Libby asks at least once a week if we can go back and do the EXACT same things we did the last time :) Once we realized it was a vacation and not a race against the other thousands of people there we had a GREAT TIME!!! So lucky to be able to give our kids "memories that will last a lifetime".

My Baby is 4!!!!!

How did it happen? Where has the time gone? How can my precious baby be 4 years old already? She is so big she has to "jump" for me to pick her up, has recently told me she finds her babysitter, "boring", and often uses words like "irritating" and "ridiculus". She totally and completely believes she is a "big grurl" and often refers to her older sisters as babies who "pee in their pants and use sippy cups".

She has been a joy this Christmas season, and it has been a blessing to see the magic through her eyes. We had the advent "calendoor" that she was in charge of each day and an amazing birthday party (if I say so my self :)) complete with a surprise visit from Santa himself. "The real one!" Of course my child when asked if there were any questions asked him what would happen if somebody had two chickens then gave one away how many would they have left! Yep, we had one speechless Santa!

Happy Birthday Sweet Libby!

Almost a Year!!!

Wow! So much has happened in a year...not sure I even want to try and catch up on my blog...BUT I am still refusing a facebook (yes, I vicariously look on Chad's!) account so in an effort to SLOW my life DOWN....I am going to try and create a journal of our crazy comings and goings.....where to start...well...that I will have to think about......

Well...this is a random list of just things on my mind...yes, it is very random
1. There will be no pictures with this post BECAUSE I got a FABULOUS new camera for my birthday (yes in December), but for some reason I don't have the software downloaded to download pictures...so I'm waiting on someone to help with that (yes, Chad this is to serve as a gentle reminder..clear throat...clear throat...clear throat)
2. I have 6 girls ages 10 and under in my house RIGHT NOW...yep, that's right I'm a super mom .
3. I would like to eat everything in the cabinet and have wanted to since Christmas...I am blaming the SNOW...however eating everything I can find is not working out so well in the pants department...come on spring
4. I have been running insane distances again...seriously 10 miles on a treadmill...painful...but to counteract the pain and change things up I've been going to Zumba once a week...it is SUPER FUN!!
5. We are officially going to Disneyworld...we are so EXCITED I just hope the trip lives up to the hype...June 18th!! Libby was telling Nana about the trip...she said we were going on the teacups and we were "paid up"... We can't wait.
6. My husband was diagnosed on Monday with the FLU...yep H1N1, swine flu, influenza type A...whatever you want to call it (by the way I was an outstanding nurse!)
7. I love snow days...but hate when the cleaning lady can't get into the driveway...UGH...my cleaning lady is a blessing....and yes, I still remember how to clean toliets! In fact the girls were begging to help...this must happen when you don't do it often!
8. Libby Dewey LOVES snow days...and I love getting to be with her during them...sometimes I feel like she is just "along for the ride" when the girls get busy....
9. Leah Dewey got a headgear...yep...but not the old fashioned clip around your head kind...this thing looks similar to the mask in silence of the lambs and is postioned on her forehead and chin..no joke! Interesting!
10. Lauren Dewey...well yesterday we had an adventure with a baby mole and Libby's snowboots...about 7:30 am this morning LRD asked if she could go outside I said sure when it warmed up...she said actually she just wanted to go to see "what became of that mole"...she sounded like a 65 year preacher :)

Merry, Merry Christmas

HO!

HO!!
HO!!!

It was SO FUN...but today it is over...tomorrow we go back to the grind...but as a reminder of the fun....

My 3 Year-Old!!!!

I can't believe my baby has turned 3!!!! Libby Grace...you are spunky!!! So unique, so intelligent, so "your-own-person"....God has blessed us with you and I love everything about you (even the things that make me REALLY tired)
